Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
Costs have averaged somewhat lower, and the
market presented somewhat weary look
during a portion of the day, but after losing
506 points, recovered and closed with steadier
tone at about last evenings rates. Fairly full
port receipts and want of strength at Liverpool
were the discouraging features at the outset,
and induced further sales of long cotton, but
finding the supply readily taken up, re-
dictionary feeling set in, with the result as
noted. There does not appear to be much
really new business coming in, the movement
being largely of a liquidating character pre-
paratory for the holidays.

CHICAGO. Dec 20.-There was an unexpected
increase in the arrival of hogs reported this
morning which caused decline in provisions.
MAY pork which closed yesterday at S17 80,
opened at SIS 40 and dropped quickly to S15 2715.
ON reaction it went up again to S15 45, and
later touched Sis 5215. May lard, which closed
yesterday at IS %, opened at IS 121S and offer
ings were made az So 10, but during the day
the price went to SIS 20, at which figure it was
firm May wheat opened at SIC and the market
was depressed at first. 1t touched S240S25sc,
but large buying sent it up again to S33sc. May
corn started at 531sc, dropped to 53c, and then
went up to 5356c in the early hours. After this
it touched 54c on bad weather and estimated
light receipts, and held quite firm at about this
figure.
